Heritage and Church Heating Solutions

Our revolutionary Halo heaters are designed to provide targeted, far infrared warmth directly to the people who need it, avoiding the energy wastage of traditional heating systems that warm large volumes of air. These energy-efficient heaters are not only ideal for creating a comfortable environment but also particularly beneficial for historic interiors and artefacts, ensuring the preservation of valuable heritage.

Our sustainable, non-intrusive chandelier Halo heating solutions have been installed in churches and heritage buildings across the UK, Europe, North America and even Australia, with fantastic feedback on comfort and proven reductions in energy consumption. With fast warm-up times and minimal pre-heating required, Halo heaters offer savings that can exceed 50% when compared to conventional heating solutions like heat pumps or convection systems.

Our Heritage Team offers desktop and on-site surveys, using the very latest in technology to ensure accurate measurements of the church interior and create a tailored heating specification.

During the specification process we utilise 3D scans to enable accurate visual representations of Halo heating zones and their coverage.

With unrivalled expertise and experience in heating historical and heritage buildings, and the largest range of infrared heating solutions on the market, our team of specialist, in-house surveyors will be on hand to assist with your requirements from specification to design and install.

St Matthew’s Church replaced its gas heating system with Herschel’s Halo heaters to meet the Church of England’s 2030 net-zero target. Four bespoke Halo 7.8kW heaters were installed in September 2022 and offered significant reductions in energy usage, with heating costs reduced to under £20 per service.

Following this, an independent performance reviewof the Herschel Halo Installation was commissioned by the Church of England. This confirmed the significant savings in energy usage, CO2 emissions, and energy bills, with the Halo system requiring just 30 minutes to pre-heat compared to 3 hours for the gas system. The congregation appreciated the visual design of the system, and it was noted to provide comfortable heating without risking damage to sensitive church artifacts.

As a result, St Matthew’s Church plans to extend the installation of Herschel’s radiant heaters to other areas within the church.

The Herschel Halo Mini delivers the distinctive elegance and reliable warmth of the Herschel Halo in a compact form, perfect for smaller spaces such as side aisles and chancels as well as lower-ceilinged spaces such as choir pews. Halo Mini has been developed in response to increasing demand for a smaller sized model of our stunning chandelier-style heater, to complement Halo. With the option to add dimmable LED lights and stunning decorative finishes, the Halo Mini provides the ideal heating for those spaces too small for the regular Halo.
